In My Nature: Connie Sidles Book Launch and Reading

Introducing a book about the Union Bay Natural Area (Montlake Fill) which is a page-turner! Birder and naturalist Connie Sidles writes with lively language, humor, and a deeply philosophical understanding about a natural place in the city which holds great meaning for her and all of us who know it. For those who have not yet explored the Fill, this book is a marvelous entry point.

Join us on Monday, November 30, 6:30pm to 8:00pm at the Miller Library for a reception and reading by Ms. Sidles.
